The tiles do look nice. I installed them around my fireplace. They are a lot more shiny/reflective than the pictures on the website indicate. I was expecting a completely dull/flat finish. The sporadic raised tiles have a flat finish. The more numerous lower profile tiles are shiny. It's not bad if you are looking at the fireplace straight on, but at an angle you can see reflections from lights or windows. Five of the ten tiles I ordered had one or two cracked tiles. I was surprised because they were packaged well, and in a larger box. I was going to return and replace those but decided to just install them anyway as you really can't notice them unless you decide to examine the fireplace in great detail. No one is going to do that and I'm the only one that will ever know where they are. The instructions say to spray the back of the tile with a combination of water and soap. You might not need to do that. If you do, only use a very small amount. Otherwise you will have to hold/press the tiles against the surface for an hour or so until it dries out to prevent them from sliding down. They were easy to cut with the wet tile saw. The instructions say you can cut them with a miter saw, large utility knife, wood chisel, end nipper pliers. I don't think using any of those would be too pleasant or easy. You are probably best off using a wet tile saw, table saw, or some kind of tool with a circular rotating diamond tip blade.

We decided to upgrade our half bath by removing the old plate glass mirror and install the Inoxia tile to create an accent wall that we finished off with a heavy framed antique mirror and new rubbed bronze faucet and cabinet hardware. The tile installed easily and the seams were undetectable. It was easy to cut with my inexpensive wet saw, but would be difficult to cut smoothly without one. The finished result looked great!

This product is great! If you are looking for a real tile look without the mess of adhesive and grout, this is the product for you. It is easy to cut and match up between pieces. The adhesive backing is very aggressive, so be sure to follow the directions regarding the use of water solution.

I am very pleased with how this DIY project turned out. The tiles are very easy to install (just cut between the rows with a box cutter, remove the covering on the back and stick them on the wall). It did take some extra time if you're not going in a straight line because you have to individually piece them together, but all-in-all I love the way they look. And you can't beat $30, which is what it cost to do a small backsplash between our vanity and mirror. Only con is that they do break easily, and it could get pricey if tiling a larger area.

Totally transform your kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and more. This product is as advertised, made of high quality material and fairly easy to install with planning. I have always loved our mantle but disliked the white out-dated tile. This product was the perfect answer for any DIYers and totally transformed our fireplace.
First, we completely read the directions. It is like putting a puzzle together, also to use less tile, you need to plan ahead. The tiles are made of real stone and can be cut with tin snips. We also used a stone blade on a circular saw for the straight edges. It takes patience when peeling off the paper backing. As you begin peeling the backing, the pieces fall forward and can stick together. If this happens, they are stick together. After cleaning the surface, we primed the wall using a spray bottle with a soap and water mixture as recommended, this gives you a few minutes to adjust the pieces. Once it dries, the pieces are set. It took us about 6 hours, but that was due to working around the fireplace and trim. It turned out even more beautiful than expected and I could not be more pleased. We are looking forward to doing other areas in the house. I would highly recommend this product.

This backsplash looks beautiful in our kitchen. However, It wasn't as easy to install as many (including the Home Depot employee) had alluded to. Some said it would be up "in an hour or two". It took closer to 12 hours - and we do not have a huge kitchen. The hardest part was cutting the tile for edges and corners. Be prepared for an experience similar to that of putting together a jigsaw puzzle. That being said, if you have the patience and the tools (we highly recommend a drill and diamond cutting/sanding disc) and follow the great tips on the YouTube tutorials, you won't be disappointed. It's beautiful once installed; we're very pleased.

I painted the wall with a high gloss paint a month before I decided to install this type of tile as a back splash around my bathroom vanity, and behind the toilet, however, my plans changed. I purchase Inoxia Speed Tiles for the entire wall.
I read most of the reviews, and looked at the DIY videos. The instructions on the videos looked easy enough, but I thought I had to do extra because of the gloss paint on the wall. Of cause, the tiles did not just stick like on the video instructions, so I had to use an adhesive which someone recommended Heavy Duty Liquid Nails. After I had some of the edges cut, and applied the adhesive to the back of the tiles, it was a piece of cake. I LOVE IT!

I found the tile very easy to install. I used tile nippers to rough cut the tile and than used a hand grinder with a sanding bit to sand the tile to the desired shape. I used a tile cutting bit to drill holes for outlet mounting screws. You should dry fit the tile to ensure it has the desired look.

These dressed up the kitchen without compromising quality. The videos how to install and others posted helped to prepare for the task. I consider it a project at the intermediate level but was able to overcome using the proper tools. Very satisfied with the results. I would recommend to friends/family.

They were exactly as I expected. The only suggestion I can offer is for the install. Just make sure your wall is flush as possible and square off the area as best as possible otherwise you will have gaps between the tiles. Use a dremel with a diamond disk or thin cut disk. Also use a couple of drops of dish soap in a full water spray bottle to wet the surface. That allows you to move the tiles slightly in place but don’t over spray. Lastly don’t apply too much pressure to the wall as the tiles can crack, they are thin.
